17 Years of DVP Partnership on Display at AMCHP 2026

The Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) Annual Conference is one of the largest gatherings of maternal and child health professionals in the United States. This year, Banyan was there in Washington, DC, representing our longtime client, CDC's Division of Violence Prevention (DVP).

Portfolio Lead Alan Williams and Director of Science Lesley Watson, PhD, connected with MCH professionals from across the country to promote DVP resources designed to strengthen families and prevent adverse childhood experiences. Conversations centered on the tools and trainings available to help states and localities adapt evidence-based programs to meet the specific needs of the communities they serve.

Banyan has been CDC's Division of Violence Prevention's strategic communications partner of choice since 2009.
